Agency Information Collection
Request. 60-Day Public Comment
Request
Office of the Secretary, HHS.
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Office of the Secretary (OS), Department
of Health and Human Services, is
publishing the following summary of a
proposed information collection request
for public comment. Interested persons
are invited to send comments regarding
this burden estimate or any other aspect
of this collection of information,
including any of the following subjects:
(1) The necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
AGENCY:
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden. To obtain copies of
the supporting statement and any
related forms for the proposed
paperwork collections referenced above,
e-mail your request, including your
address, phone number, OMB number,
and OS document identifier, to
Sherette.funncoleman@hhs.gov, or call
the Reports Clearance Office on (202)
690–6162. Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collections must be directed
to the OS Paperwork Clearance Officer
at the above e-mail address within 60days.
Proposed Project: Comparative
Effectiveness Research Inventory—OMB
No. 0990–New–Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation (ASPE).
Abstract: The Office of the Assistance
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting approval by OMB
for the collection of information
submitted by content users directly to a
web-based inventory of comparative
effectiveness research (CER). The CER
Inventory will categorize and catalogue
Federal and non-Federal CER outputs
and activities across four main domains:
research, human & scientific capital
(e.g., training/education, methods
development), data infrastructure, and
dissemination & translation. The CER
inventory will serve as a valuable tool
for researchers, providers, patients,
policymakers, and other users.
The CER inventory will draw upon
primary data sources, including
PubMed, HSRProj, ClinicalTrials.gov,
and NIH RePORTER. Working with
these four major sources and using the
Federal Coordinating Council for CER’s
definition of CER and strategic
framework, selection criteria and tools
to select and extract the appropriate
subsets of these datasets for inclusion in
the CER inventory will be identified. In
addition, content owners wishing to
submit CER records to the CER
inventory will be directed first to submit
such records to one of these main
primary source databases, as
appropriate. This method will not only
help to augment these existing
databases, it will enable efficient and
effective capture of CER information for
the CER Inventory via CER search
filters, etc., that have been developed for
those respective source databases. If
candidate CER records under
consideration are not suitable for
submission to one of these main
databases, an alternative method that
allows for direct submissions to the CER
inventory will be made available to
content users. Examples include reports
and published articles or projects and
programs that focus on areas of CER
outside of primary research (e.g.,
training and education). The pilot
inventory tool will provide a Web form
that may be used by content owners to
submit CER records, subject to
validation. This process for direct
submission will draw from the
experience with content owner
submissions for such established
databases as HSRProj and
ClinicalTrials.gov.

Proposed Project
The Evaluation of Ordinances to
Prevent Workplace Violence in
Convenience Stores—NEW—National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention,(CDC).
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Background and Brief Description
Workplace violence (WPV) is a
significant concern for employers and
employees alike; every year in the U.S.,
WPV results in hundreds of deaths,
nearly two million nonfatal injuries, and
billions of dollars in costs. Historically,
retail establishments have been the
focus of WPV research. In 1997–2008,
there were 1,800 homicides of retail
workers of which 1,572 were due to
robbery or assaults.
Situational Crime Prevention
programs to reduce robbery and violent
crime have been proven to be successful
in reducing robbery and robbery-related
injury risk to both employees and
customers in retail settings. These
programs incorporate a criminological
concept called Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design (CPTED)
which theorizes that environments can
be modified to make potential criminals
feel they are being watched, i.e. under
surveillance and thus vulnerable,
resulting in avoidance of the target by
increasing the robber’s perception that a
robbery is not worth the risk.
NIOSH is requesting approval to
conduct an evaluation of the
effectiveness of convenience store safety
ordinances in Dallas and Houston,
Texas. The goals of this research are to
(1) determine if the ordinances
effectively increase the frequency of
implementation of CPTED components
in stores and decrease robbery and
assaults to workers and customers; (2)
determine the benefits to stores from
compliance to the city ordinance; (3)
determine the process the cities used for
ordinance development and their
recommendations to other cities, and (4)
develop evidence-based
recommendations to provide to other
cities and retail companies considering
CPTED programs. Recommendations
about the process used by Houston and
Dallas may be helpful to other
communities considering ordinances.
Additionally, benefits to the stores with
regard to return on investment,
increased quality of customers,
increased sales, and decreases in
employee stress due to risk of workplace
violence may be useful to other cities
and their retailers considering
ordinances.
The proposed NIOSH study will be a
population based follow-up study of
convenience stores which are operating
1-year after the effective date of their
ordinance. A sample of 300 stores in
Dallas and 300 stores in Houston will be
selected. Each store will be visited by a
survey interviewer who will evaluate
the store environment and interview the
store managers in person. Data will be
collected on compliance with the safety
ordinance, reasons for non-compliance,
and benefits to the store from
compliance including return on
investment, increased sales, increased
quality of customers, decreased crime,
and decreased employee stress.
The participation of the store manager
will be voluntary. Data from the store
evaluation will be recorded on a
checklist form and will take
approximately 15 minutes of the store
interviewer’s time. The store evaluation
will be conducted independently of the
managers and will not require their time
or assistance thus; they will not be
incurring burden. The interview of the
store manager will require
approximately 30 minutes of the
manager’s time. From previous studies
of convenience stores, over a 90%
response rate is expected. Prior to the
survey NIOSH will contact those
companies in the sample who own two
or more stores that can be identified
based on the company or store name,
and obtain approval from the store
owners/upper management for their
store manager’s participation.
Permission to participate will be
obtained from the remainder of the store
managers at the time of the survey. If a
store manager refuses to participate,
another store will be selected from the
sampling frame to ensure a sample of
600 stores. The survey interviewer will
first visit the store and leave the
questionnaire with the manager and
then return 1–2 days later for the
interview. This leaves time for the
manager to obtain approval to
participate from owners and upper
management. The store manager’s
participation will be voluntary and
consent to participate will be obtained
from the manager.
A burden of 3 hours is estimated for
each of approximately 35 owners/
managers to review the questionnaire
and survey protocol, and to discuss
their store managers’ participation with
NIOSH project officers by conference
call.
Once the study is completed, NIOSH
will provide a copy of the final report
to each participating store, the
participating city Mayor’s Task force for
Convenience Store Safety, the police
department, and the industry and
community partners.
Approximately 3 industry leaders in
each city who participate on the
Mayor’s Task Force for Convenience
Store Safety will provide support and
voluntarily contact approximately 90
stores and recommend they participate.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 495.
